The team both on pickup and delivery was professional, friendly, asked for direction, took great care of our belongings and protected our homes from potential damage. The cost was reasonable. We were able to store our belongings on the trailer during the almost 8 weeks between pickup and delivery. We appreciate the great communication and follow up! Highly recommend!

We used Chieftain Van Lines for our move from Omaha NE to Leander TX , They are very friendly, honest , people. From the owner to the movers, I could not have asked for a better experience. Our furniture was protected by blankets, our rails were covered by them with other blankets. After arriving in Leander, the driver Randy had two other men help for the unloading, also very pleasant and careful with our items. I highly recommend them for your moving, whether in town or long distance. They will give you peace of mind.

I cannot recommend this company enough! From start to finish, they were in constant communication and incredibly professional. Cyndy was amazingly friendly and so attentive to all the details of our move. I am so thankful we had the opportunity to work with Chieftain!

We were extremely pleased with the way our move was handled. The crew arrived promptly and worked in an organized and efficient manner. All of the crew members were courteous and willing to go the extra mile as things came up. We have used Chieftan periodically over the last 40 years. I highly recommend this moving company to anyone who doesn't plan on doing the move themself.

Chieftain was great and easy to work with. They took great care of us and our belongings from the first conversation and the estimate all the way through the move and beyond. We would definitely use them again.

I spent 26 years in the military, and, I had many, many moves. Some were very good and some were not. One was a total disaster! My recent move from my home of 26 years, one month and four days to a CCRC was by far the best move I ever encountered. I had ZERO damage. Roland, David and the team wrapped and packed my furniture on the van as if they were moving their own household. At the delivery point I experience the same professional service. Not only are Roland and David excellent role models for Chieftain Van Lines, they are "teacher's." They never hesitated to help the youngest team member to

Do not use this moving company! They dropped our hot tub and are only offering 50% replacement value when it was 100% their fault. We even purchased the insurance and they are still not backing up their actions to make this right.
